Aviation catering — Spata-Artemida, Greece
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Spata-Artemida (LGAV / ATH)
ATH (IATA) · LGAV (ICAO)
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let Spata-Artemida take multi-class widebodies onto stands sized for hi-loader boarding, so aircraft board at galley height rather than at the door. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering here across scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements, with the uplift boarded airside from one ops desk.

Aircraft catering lead times at LGAV / ATH
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Spata-Artemida (ATH)
The loading window at Spata-Artemida is measured, not estimated, from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on stand. Ramp access is held on our own badges rather than routed through a third party, which keeps the catering uplift moving on the same clock as the turnaround. That sequence is what a wide-body rotation on the apron actually depends on.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Spata-Artemida sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst case rather than the average one. The convoy is the risk on this route, not the galley catering itself, so the route and the timing are fixed before the cart leaves the kitchen. Temperature is logged at sealing and again at handover, and a named coordinator carries chain of custody from LGAV catering right through to the signature on the aircraft. That signature closes the load and confirms nothing broke the cold chain in transit.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing in between unaccounted for.
Airline catering companies' production standard at Spata-Artemida
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Spata-Artemida, Greece
The flight kitchen behind Spata-Artemida runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, provisioning the wide-body stands this station is built for. Airport catering here is planned against the aerodrome reference code rather than against a single aircraft type, so multi-class loads move through the same facility as single-cabin ones. Production is run to HACCP, and airport catering across Greece from this kitchen follows that standard on every load leaving for ATH.
The team that handles government flight catering at Spata-Artemida is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying a current security clearance and standing on the access list. They are trained to royal household standards as well as to airline specification, so the same crew can move between a scheduled load and a protocol one without a handover gap. Sealed uplifts leave the kitchen under one signature, with the paperwork travelling in the cart rather than behind it.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at ATH
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LGAV / ATH
Chef-designed menus at Spata-Artemida are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, moving from passenger meal boxes through to VVIP presentation on the same rotation. Where local sourcing is drawn from Greek produce, it stays general in scope: dairy, orchard fruit and fish worked into the standing menu structure rather than named as a dish. Inflight catering at this station is planned by season as well as by cabin, so a summer rotation and a winter one draw on different produce lists under the same specification. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Spata-Artemida take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order for LGAV, so a repeat rotation reads the same on tray and on plate.
Business cabins
Business cabins at ATH run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted to the stand. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, with crew meals in Greece and crew meals at Spata-Artemida following the same duty-line specification.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LGAV are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering ATH produces household, religious and medical requirements on a separate line, sealed before it leaves that line for the stand.

Flight catering airside delivery at Spata-Artemida airport
Spata-Artemida works scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways built to a wide-body reference code, and that mix sets three separate problems for catering: a delegation is a documentation problem, a peak wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem the specification has to survive unchanged. Airline catering here is planned against that mix rather than against one aircraft type.
The uplift moves from our flight kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded at galley height under airside delivery held on our own ramp access rather than passed through a third party. Aviation catering in Greece from this kitchen follows one route, one badge set and one loading order, so a diversion is worked the same way as a scheduled rotation. Inflight catering, in-flight catering in Greece and airport catering at Spata-Artemida all run off that single ops desk.
One coordinator carries the uplift from sealed cart to signed handover on every stand.

Government and state flight catering at ATH

Private jet and FBO catering at Spata-Artemida

“For a government operation through Spata-Artemida (ATH/LGAV), we required discreet state visit aircraft catering. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. We were very satisfied with the level of coordination. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Sami — Private Jet Operations Manager
“We ordered wide body VIP aircraft catering for our aircraft at Spata-Artemida (ATH/LGAV) and the result was very good. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
